Question

- 2 + (-5)please help

Answer 1

We are given the following expression

-2 + (-5)

The plus before the parenthesis means that we keep the signal of everything that is inside.

So

-2 + (-5) = -2 - 5

Now we have two numbers with the same signal. So we keep the signal, and add them

-2 + (-5) = -2 - 5 = -(2+5) = -7
